text: 16 May 2016 / Categories: News CM2000 gets involved in Dementia Awareness Week 15-21 May is Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Awareness Week, encouraging people to get the information and support they need. Dementia is a term given to a group of symptoms from certain diseases which affect the brain. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. The symptoms of dementia are progressive and on an unknown time scale but it isn't an inevitable part of aging. CM2000 are working with Birmingham City University and homecare providers on an exciting project that identifies the early indicators of dementia, enabling timely intervention and better pathway support. The project, known as UNTAPPED (Utilising Novel Techniques to Assess Predictive Patterns in Early Dementia), embraces predictive modelling technology and under-explored social and behavioural indicators to identify dementia risk up to 15 years earlier. Care Workers and informal Carers involved in shaping the data capture questionnaire have reinforced the importance of gaining a better understanding of the early signs of dementia. Mark Thomas, Managing Director of CM2000 says "Dementia is the biggest health challenge facing our society and we are excited about the potential for technology to identify risks at a much earlier stage. The UNTAPPED project is on track to deliver a Dementia Support Toolkit which monitors risk indicators in prediction and early support intervention for citizens, family and care givers alike." During Dementia Awareness Week, CM2000 are offering all staff the highly regarded Dementia Friends training to improve their knowledge and understanding of a condition which already affects 46 million people worldwide and is set to rise to 100 million by 2050. Mark added "The UK has a target of 2.5 million Dementia Friends by 2018. CM2000 are committed to being a Dementia Friends organisation where staff are encouraged to learn more about dementia and supported to take action."

Call A Deplorable / Elitist breaks you out of your echo chamber
- October 19, 2016
- technews
Put in your phone number, talk to someone with the opposite political views. That's the idea behind two new sister sites, CallADeplorable.com for use by Hillary supporters and CallAnElitist.com for use by Trump supporters. "We hope that every voter can take the time to share their story and listen to what others have to say before election day," write the project's creators.
Most people just assume everyone on the other side is crazy, and they just avoid or ignore them. That's not too difficult despite our broad connections via social media. Facebook's research shows 23 percent of people's friends have a conflicting political view.
Yet you might not hear from them because Trump supporters in Democrat communities or Hillary supporters in Trump communities might be afraid to speak up. The Wall Street Journal's "Blue Feed, Red Feed" shows just how different the echo chambers can be.
But the "Call A" sites make it easy to reach across the aisle yourself. I just had a relatively civil conversation with someone who gave me a down-to-earth perspective from a world I don't hear about often. He may have shouted a bit before hanging up, which made me thankful that the "Call A" sites connect you over an anonymous Twilio line and don't actually give you each other's phone numbers. But it still felt productive.
"Regardless of who wins, the biggest problem is that the country is so clearly divided over what issues should be focused on. That problem doesn't seem like it's going to go away," says Call A co-founder Alexandre Roche, a former Facebook product manager with his own anonymous, pixellated video chat app called RealTalk.
Roche insists that "I don't think any of Trump's views are reasonable," and admits that "you're not going to change people's opinions, especially not over a phone call." He might shut the sites down if they cost too much in Twilio charges and he can't find a sustainable way to finance it, saying, "I don't really see this as a long-term product." Right now he's buying ads to fill the Trump supporter side of the calls.
Any attempt to mend the divide in our country seems worth a shot, though some of the calls are sure to devolve into trolling or abuse.
"Acknowledging the other side exists could do some good, and people would see it less black and white. Maybe you can allow them to see that someone came to the conclusion of voting for Trump through all their life experiences. You can judge that as right or wrong, but if you'd been through their life situation, you might do the same," Roche concludes.
"I thought connecting people and letting them have some empathy would be good for both sides."

The Friday Favored: 32nd Edition
The Friday Favored: 32nd Edition
1.) Reincarnation:
Have I ever mentioned that if I believed in reincarnation, I would want to come back as a squirrel? It's true. This is a long held personal opinion of mine. I was reminded of it this week when I visited Ben's site, Nest of Squirrels.
His tagline is "Acorns. And scurrying." How great is that?!
My opinion on squirrels being the correct reincarnation for me is due to how my brain works – like Ben said -acorns and scurrying.
Acorns – thoughtful considerations that I must store away.
Scurrying – moving on quickly and (seemingly) randomly.
2.) Favorite:
I stare at this image from this week's FarrrTHUR. Just stare and stare and stare. It's the first sunflower I ever met and the pleasure was all mine…in town.
Seriously. Ag happens in the city.
3.) Anthem:
A few weeks ago I mentioned clicking over to vote for this national anthem singing contest. In order to qualify to compete, the participants were required to have agriculture in their background – 4-H, FFA, family farming, etc. Scholarships were the prizes.
And the winner is:
For complete contest results,
to read Lindsey's bio
AND to listen, visit the Anthem contest site.
4.) Foggy Autumns:
Do you enjoy the foggy autumn mornings and evenings?
This was the front yard scene last evening.
Foggy autumns mornings are especially meaningful to me.
How about you?
5.) Choco Bundt:
This showed up in a file I was editing this morning. For shame – I don't remember which recipe it is. I only vaguely recall this kitchen scene.
I will work on figuring out this choco (chip and melted, oh my!), coconut, pecan mystery for us.
6.) Calving season update:
I went out last evening to find baby calf photo ops for us to enjoy here today, but all the calves were hiding.
So, I asked C-5 for a photo op. She obliged.
What do you think…is she pregnant?
Do you think Queen Josephine knows the answer?
Honestly, I don't know if Josephine knows about cow pregnancy. I like to think she does.
For sure, she knew her own pregnancy, because that smaller gal behind her is her daughter, Benelli – two years old now and all grown up!
Did you have a good week?

Donkey!!! I don't like fog…I like crisp sunny mornings.
Don't come back a squirrel and sit on the wall just outside the kitchen as you nibble at one of our precious walnuts that you've just thieved from the tree because you'll meet an untimely end. Poor C5 looks fit to burst while Josephine looks as though she knows all the answers.
Love all the pictures in this post! Especially love the foggy autumn photo… sunrises + sunsets during a foggy autumn day/night are the best.
Your pregnancy post is one of, it not my favorite that you have written! I have many favorites of yours, but I will never for get that one. It totally made since!

Josephine's face is so funny on that portrait 🙂 l love your donkeys, they always make me smile.
Listened to the contest winner and the other three girls – beautiful!
Coconut cookies is my guess. A chocolate addict variety.
Thank you for your wonderful post!

The International Marine Minerals Society presents The Moore Medal* award on occasion when the career of an eminent figure in marine mining and mineral activities warrants such an honor.
The award is given in the name of Professor J. Robert (Robby) Moore for distinction in the development of marine minerals. Professor Moore conducted marine minerals research at University of Wales, Aberystwyth Campus, Great Britain, and the Universities of Harvard, Wisconsin, Alaska, and Texas in the United States. He was committed to the intelligent integration of government, industry, and academia to address the development of marine minerals.
The following is a list of prominent recipients:
Akira Usui with David Cronan, each a recipient of The Moore Award for 2014.
David Heydon recipient of The Moore Award for 2012 for his role in establishing an industry for the deep-sea mining of seafloor massive sulfides.

Click on the image to open a larger version.
* The Moore Medal is a bronze medallion of Robby Moore mounted on a laser-engraved wooden plaque. The medallion was designed by Robert W. Cooke, exploration manager for the International Nickel deep seabed mining consortium, and who is now a full time artist in Arizona.
In 1989, the Society recognized those who had made notable contributions to the marine mining industry. They are as follows:
This award was first awarded in 1979 on the 10th anniversary of the Underwater Mining Institute to Mr. Lorne Wrigglesworth who dedicated his professional career to the Falconbridge Group of companies for nearly 40 years and for nearly a decade beyond as an independent ore reserves consultant. Throughout this span he remained an active member of the UMI and a strong advocate of the Society. See certificate PDF.
The second award was given in 2002 to Dorothy Taylor Moore who was an active supporter of the mission and objectives of the Society throughout "Robby" Moore's lifetime. See award PDF.
In 2016, this award was presented to Karynne Chong Morgan who served as the Society's administrative and conference coordinator. Alongside her husband, Technical Program Chair Charles L. Morgan, they were partners in supporting the Society and the Underwater Mining Conference (UMC) for nearly three decades. See award PDF.

Barbados:Drastic decline in enrolment at Cave Hill campus of UWI
BRIDGETOWN (CMC): The Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies has confirmed a drastic decline in the number of Barbadian students enrolling at the tertiary institution this academic year as the government's austerity measures begin to take effect.
Campus Registrar Ken Walters told reporters that overall, there had been a total of 1,468 students registering this academic year, as compared with 2,240 at the start of the last academic year in 2013.
Last year, Finance and Economic Affairs Minister Chris Sinckler, in his 2013-14 budget presentation, said that effective 2014, Barbadian students pursuing studies at the university's three campuses will be required to pay their own tuition fees, while the government continues to fund economic costs.
Sinckler said the tuition fees range from BDS$5,625 to BDS$65,000 (one Barbados dollar = US$0.50 cents) and that the new policy would reduce the transfer to UWI by an estimated BDS$42 million a year.
Walters said that the faculties most affected by the decline in student population were Humanities and Education, and that a high percentage decline in medical science and postgraduate students.
Walters said that the decline in postgraduate students could also have further effect for the future socio-economic development of Barbados, given that management studies were developed in collaboration with the public and private sectors.
"If our students are not looking at these seriously, I think that is where the gap may occur in terms of the development plans," he said.
There were only 477 graduate students registering in 2014, compared to 875 in 2013, a 45 per cent reduction.

With all the talk this week of new elected officials taking office – especially the return of Jerry Brown in California – I thought a few quick facts on the first women to be elected as governor(s) in the United States might be in order.
In January of 1925, two women made history: Nellie Taylor Ross and Miriam Amanda Wallace Ferguson became the first women to hold the office of Governor. Ross took office on January 5 in Wyoming, and Ferguson took office on January 20th in Texas. And thus began the history of women in national politics. Both women succeeded their husbands in office, both were married with children, and both were right around the age of 50.
Images of Ross and Ferguson appeared regularly in the press, impacting the public perception of their personalities, politics and fashionability. These women also set examples for later generations, including notions of how female politicians should dress – a conversation that continues today.
Nellie Tayloe Ross

When Ross appeared before the Wyoming legislature for the first time on January 16, 1925, she "defied precedent" by wearing a hat and gloves. The consequence? It was covered in newspapers across the nation – including the New York Times and Chicago Tribune).
Miriam Amanda Wallace Ferguson

On January 20, 1925 Miriam Wallace Ferguson was elected Governor of Texas. The gown she wore to her inaugural ball is now held in the Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection at Texas Woman's University. According to the collection, "The gown was manufactured by Samuel Kass of New York. The material of the gown is paulette crepe in a soft shade of orchid. Cost of the gown was $125." Her clothing preferences would be written up in both small and large circulation newspapers. The Bell County Museum in Texas houses the Miriam A. Ferguson collection, including the gown she wore to her husbands inauguration in 1915.

Very poor, delivery has not been achieved despite the stated delivery being 3 days ago. IVery poor. No automated email updated on delivery. Despite stated hours of Sat service no answer during the 4 hours of me phoning - all operators were apparently busy all day !So far failed to deliver, failed to update, and failed to be available during stated working hours - if I could give less than a one star service I would. Lets hope my goods for which payment has already left my bank account are actually delivered. At this stage the worst online purchase system I have every used lets hope things will improve or this will be the last time I and my friends use this website - back to Lovell for me.

Skara opens up character development to fans
Indie developer 8 Bit Studio is drumming up support for its new Skara MOBA by involving fans directly in character development.
Skara fans will have the chance to design the rest of the characters of Skara's history mode through contests soon to be launched via its social networks and official website, 8 Bit Studio said in a release.
This comes after a successful trial run last E3 when the developer held a "Be the Main Character of Skara" contest.
E3 attendees had then taken their picture and posted on Skara's Facebook page. The photo that accumulated the most likes within a voting period would have their likeness used to create one of the characters in the action arena mmorpg. The lucky gamer turned out to be Diana Espinosa, whose features are now being used to develop a Skara hero.
8 Bit Studio said this is one of the things it is doing to set the game apart from all the other mmorpg games and MOBA rpg games coming out of the woodwork these days.
Aside from opening up the character development process to fans, developers are also keen on listening to their feedback on other game features.
Skara fans are encouraged to recommend ideas that could eventually make their way into the MOBA.
"Our goal above anything else is to create the dream game that any gamer would love to play. We started with a clear concept of how it will function, as a free to play MOBA," says CEO and Creative Director Pablo Rodriguez, "and we want to see the rest take shape through interaction with people by sharing ideas."

Struggling with Shoulder Pain?
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a condition where the loose capsule of the shoulder becomes so inflamed that the surrounding muscles progressively tighten and stiffen the joint. Generally a frozen shoulder will lead to the person being unable to move their shoulder either on their own or with the help of another person. The most convincing study results have indicated that prolonged poor posture (rounded shoulders) is the precursor to the condition
Shoulder Bursitis
Small fluid filled sacs called bursa act to cushion the contact points wherever the bones, tendons and ligaments move against each other. When a joint is under load or tension for extended periods of time these sacs can become inflamed. This inflammation will cause pain and reduced movement of the shoulder joint. The cause of shoulder Bursitis is generally attributed repetitive physical movements commonly seen in the work place and particular sports such as golf. As the spine and rib cage is directly related to the shoulder girdle it is important to rule out any spinal involvement in order to obtain a full and quick recovery.
Shoulder rotator cuff injury
There are four rotator cuff muscles the Subscapularies, Supraspinatus,Iinfraspinatus and the Teres minor, collectively they work together to stabilize the shoulder joint through various ranges of movement. Injury to these muscles is very common and can range from impingement and tendinitis to tears and even calcification. Correct diagnosis of thy type and severity of the injury is vital to a good outcome. Causes of injury can range from trauma, overuse, muscle weakness and neck dysfunction.
The team here at Queensland Chiropractic Group have specific training in diagnosing and dealing with shoulder related injuries and will take the time to sit and organise a correct plane of treatment to get your shoulder problems back on track and advise on preventative strategies for the long term..

Lost ricochet…
…and you still miss, even on target.
You just don't get it, in your deep blind.
I've passed far beyond the ramparts of the sun,
long, so long ago now, where you cannot follow.
The paranormal, normal to me, always has been.
Familiar to me, this, nothing to lose, fire away…
I won't miss, my target found way back, and
you'll have farther to fall than I, gone now.
Nothing to lose, fire away, I'm gone, so gone.
Your fear my best weapon, without effort,
I look back briefly only to see you down,
your fall, forever with no recall or memory…
So fire away, I am so long gone, you…
…you shooting in the dark, no target found.

She lurks around the dark corridor, hidden safely from "madam" who watches TV. She peeps fearfully into the parlor. She hasn't seen a television before. Suddenly, a hand forcefully drags her into darkness. This hand searches her dress in a filthy exploration and pokes her mound. She cries out in pain but only in her heart. Who would believe her? Who would fight for her?
"Wash these plates, you wretch!" Madam thunders. "I don't care about how you feel and why do you walk like that, little wretch?" before she can reply, five chubby fingers swiftly lands on her cheek and her eye water spills slowly. If only father is alive and mother is not poor.
She is a victim of not one abuse but multiple. "Who stole my necklace?" Another blow sends her sprawling on the floor. "Bastard! You now steal from me." Her clothes are burned and she is sent back to the village, empty.
Defiled Iris; flower once beautiful. She died of syphilis.
Little Maid, Rest In Peace.
Most of us have you in our homes but we treat you like a modern day slave—a beast of burden. Little maid, when will your light come?

We have extensive experience in consignment manufacturing for the R&D departments of major companies, universities, and public organizations. We can develop and deliver products that are optimal for their intended use. We have in-house design and machining departments. We use 3D CAD, CAE structural analysis, and mechanical analysis to reduce costs and verify product quality and mechanisms. We can quickly carry out maintenance and improvement because of our integrated in-house production.
[Product description] This product consists of a passive rotating wheel having a semi-spherical shape in combination with a barrel-shaped wheel to avoid irregular points. The performance achieved by this combination of the spherical wheel for omnidirectional mobility and its cart includes traveling across high level differences and grooves and drive transmission (gripping) force. The semi-spherical rotating wheel can actively rotate itself. The wheel can also be driven passively by connecting the wheel to a motor via a shaft. [Authorization/Certification] Management Innovation Plan approval based on the Act for the Promotion of New Business Activities by Small and Medium-Size Enterprises (Metropolitan approval No. 877, 2013). [Intellectual property] Spherical Wheel for Omnidirectional Mobility, and Omnidirectional Mobility Member (Japanese Patent No. 5057130). *Exclusive implementation rights concluded in September 2012.
[Product description] This product has a simple mechanism consisting of only two motors and link bearings. This mechanical structure has made it possible to tilt the top plate in an arbitrary direction. This used to be impossible with conventional methods. The structure can simulate head movement by moving in three dimensions. The structure moves without complicated parts such as cylinders or joints, so manufacturing costs can be reduced. The mechanism is simple, so its control is easy. [Intellectual property] Three-Dimensional Operation Mechanical Structure (Japanese Patent No. 5385817).
[Product description] This product was produced from the artificial satellite attitude control test device that we jointly developed on consignment from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in January 2008. A slot throttle air-feed method is applied to a spherical bearing via a ring-shaped air feed section. Our new method has increased rigidity and levitation weight capacity compared with the multi-bore air feed method of other companies. Levitation with a fine flow rate and fine differential pressure has made the air feed mechanism compact and lightweight. The working fluid flow rate is small and the gas flow is uniform and stable. This makes it possible to reduce disturbances to the movement of a levitated sphere. This air feed method is also applicable to high-accuracy sphere movement measurement and control.

Detector Mods

I have used the Minelab GPX 5000 since it was introduced, and in fact probably owned the first one in Alaska. I have used the Garrett ATX also since it came out with one of the first units off the production line. I have been putting this review off while I got to know the ATX. I now have over 100 hours on the detector in a variety of environments so the time has come.
This metal detector comparison review was very challenging for me to write. It pits two very different yet very similar detectors against each other. In a way it is almost like discussing three detectors instead of two, and there is the issue of a huge price difference. I apologize for the length but this is a case where I wanted to be as thorough as possible on the subject. This is the review you will never see published in a magazine!
In a way it is all about that price differential. If the two detectors were priced similarly there would be much less debate than is going to occur amongst people and a far easier buying decision for some to make. For me personally it really is a story of the Garrett ATX being two very different detectors at once and so I will start the review there.
I have been metal detecting over forty years now, and metal detecting is very important in my life. Not a day goes by that I do not think about, write about, or actually go out metal detecting. Luckily for me a large chunk of my income is derived from metal detecting and so I can justify a collection of metal detectors for what I do. I engage in quite a few detecting activities and I strive to have the very best detector possible at my disposal for whatever it is I am doing. Because of this I am constantly on the look for new detectors that might help me in some way.
However, now that the technology is maturing I have the bases pretty well covered. The only thing I was still looking for was a detector that satisfied me while water detecting in Hawaii. Every other detecting scenario I have covered to my satisfaction, but every time I hit the water in Hawaii I was left wanting something better than was available. The combination of salt water, volcanic rock, and military grade electrical interference is very challenging for any detector.
What I generally want is a combination of stability and power with good ergonomics. The perfect detector should only signal on desired targets and nothing else, at good depth, while feeling good on my arm. I obviously reject detectors that get poor depth - these are usually the lower price detectors. Most top tier models are very competitive in the depth department. Other detectors I have put aside solely due to an inability to handle electrical interference. Fine machines otherwise, but unstable in an urban environment. Other detectors are too noisy in mineralized ground or too chatty in dense trash. And finally, some detectors are holdovers from the old days of heavy and clunky. I do not like detectors that make my arm hurt!
I was therefore very excited when I heard the Garrett ATX was on the way. I was very familiar with its predecessor, the Garrett Infinium, which was tantalizingly close to my perfect Hawaii detector. Unfortunately the Infinium suffered in the stability department. I was also aware of the Garrett Recon Pro AML-1000 military demining detector. I was intrigued by its having a non-motion monotone search mode and wondered if that could be incorporated into a new improved "Infinium Pro" model. I not only had Hawaii in mind but started envisioning scenarios involving underwater sniping for gold employing a metal detector.
Add to this that neither Minelab nor White's seemed interested in putting a waterproof ground balancing pulse induction metal detector in my hands. I never expected it would be Garrett that would come out with a second generation model based on the Infinium before anyone else got to first base.
I have told you all this to explain what I was expecting and hoping for in the Garrett ATX. The fact is Garrett delivered with flying colors on my desires and the ATX is now one if the most important detectors in my collection. I have already paid for the detector with jewelry found and it is the Hawaii detector I always hoped for. Garrett ATX in Hawaii If we are talking about the Garrett ATX as a new waterproof detector for use on black sand or volcanic island beaches the review can end right here. The Garrett ATX is a superb detector for those conditions and well worth the money.
There is only one fly in the ointment. If you look at the full page ads for the Garrett ATX it is clearly being marketed as a prospecting detector, and one pretty clearly aimed at Minelab's top end models. Specifically "The ATX performs head-to-head with the most expensive prospecting detectors in the world."
ads by Amazon...
Interestingly enough this idea was not even on my radar. I had always thought it was a huge mistake for the Infinium to be set up as direct competition for the high end Minelabs. Anyone involved in that remembers the hype and resulting disappointment and backlash. The Infinium eventually found its place but more as a water and relic hunting machine than a prospecting detector, although it is a capable enough unit. My hope was to avoid a similar scenario with the ATX. I do not like hype and prefer things to be under sold so people are pleasantly surprised when their expectations are exceeded. Hype leads to disappointment when inflated claims cannot be met.
The reality here however is that Garrett has chosen to make prospecting the battlefield of choice. There is a lot of money at stake here for a lot of people, and so I am going to do my best here to compare the two units as dry land prospecting detectors. I think we can all agree that if you are looking at both the Garrett ATX and Minelab GPX 5000 and need the detector to be waterproof the Garrett ATX wins hands down.
The funny thing here is that if Garrett was gunning for Minelab then in my opinion they went about it the wrong way. I get the distinct impression the design process was backwards. It was not a matter of "what do prospectors want in a metal detector?" I think it was "we have this housing on the shelf we developed at great expense to go after a military contract. We need to leverage our development cost by putting something in that housing we can sell to the public." In other words, I do not see any sign of design following function. All I see is a prospecting detector crammed in a box inappropriate for the desired end use. If Steve Jobs was into metal detectors he would be rolling in his grave. I will have to suffice instead by simply shaking my head at missed opportunity. I will explain more about that later.
Let's set ergonomics aside though for now and just talk about straight up prospecting performance. How does the Garrett ATX fare against the Minelab GPX 5000 on gold in mineralized ground? I have done fairly extensive tests but I do have to throw in the caveat that the world is a big place and when you discuss prospecting detectors one truth is paramount. It is all about the ground mineralization and hot rocks. What works well in one place fails in another, and for this reason alone I cannot offer 100% assurances. I have spent a month traveling Western Australia detecting every day and so I am quite familiar with what prospectors face there. I am not about to begin to offer more than an opinion about how these two detectors fare in the worst Australian ground but I do think my conclusions will prove to be true. I can tell anyone right now knowing detectors the way I do that either machine will prove superior at certain locations given their differing capabilities.
In a nutshell, the Garrett ATX has a ridiculously good circuit. The engineers at Garrett have done a superb job of producing a detector that out of box performs extremely well on a wide variety of gold in a wide variety of ground conditions. I tested both units in some very red mineralized soil, both outfitted with stock DD coils. The ATX comes with a 12" x 10" DD coil. The GPX 5000 comes with two coils, one of which is an 11" round DD coil and this is what I used. The nuggets ranged from 0.1 gram to 6.5 ounces.
Test conditions
The impression I was left with was definitely not how the GPX 5000 blows the ATX away but instead by how well the Garrett ATX does. It is impossible to not be impressed by how well the $2120 detector does when run head-to-head against a $5795 detector. Garrett has done a fantastic job and in my opinion their advertising claims are not off base. This is a serious prospecting circuit well worth consideration.
The two detectors basically differ in the range of gold they find best. The Garrett ATX skews towards the smaller more commonly found gold nuggets. The Minelab GPX 5000 skews towards larger gold nuggets that tend to be the goal of professional prospectors. Out of box with similar coils the ATX will find small gold nuggets the GPX 5000 would normally miss without special coils and tuning tricks. It does this simply and with no fuss. However, in mineralized ground with similar coils the GPX easily bests the ATX on large nuggets. By large I mean one ounce and larger and by easily I mean by a margin of 10-15%. The GPX 5000 does this using a coil that in my case had never been on the detector before. Most Minelab users would never consider hobbling the detector by putting the 11" round DD coil on if hunting large nuggets at depth. It is informative therefore that even doing this in the interest of "fairness" and with nothing more than stock Normal timing with Gain bumped to 16 (out of 20) the Minelab GPX 5000 easily outperformed the Garrett ATX on a 6.5 ounce nugget. The ATX was at max Gain of 13 for the test.
Now the depth differential here was only about two inches but I have to throw in the huge caution note again that it will vary depending on ground conditions. Absolute depth was about 17" ATX versus 19" GPX for good solid signals. The kind nobody can miss. Again, do not take these as some sort of magical numbers as ground conditions and even nugget shape and alloy could cause you to get some surprising differences. That is why I hate mentioning exact depths and differences in most cases and just stick to relative conclusions. But you are going to ask so there you go. For reference a Fisher Gold Bug Pro with 13" round DD coil and White's GMT with 14" elliptical DD both with settings jacked to the max were barely able to obtain this solid gold 6.5 ounce nugget at 12" in this ground and the GMT in particular would not really have been able to hunt maxed out the way it was.
Depending on who is reading this the response may be "really, only two inches?" or "wow, two whole inches!" Similarly, it is interesting to see the GPX with DD coil scrub a little nugget with no signal that the ATX easily detects at a couple inches.
This however does end up being my basic and not new finding by any means. Others have reported similar results. The ATX does better on small gold and the GPX on large straight out of box with stock DD coils.
I do believe the GPX has more ability to handle more varied and more intense ground conditions and hot rocks due to its many adjustments. However, this is more a belief than a fact as so far the ATX has easily handled everything I have thrown at it, including salt water, basalt rocks, and electrical interference in Hawaii. Garrett does make use of a salient fact in its advertising. The ATX handles a wide range of conditions with deceptively few settings. This makes it very easy to set up and it avoids a common complaint with the GPX detectors. They are so complex people are often left wondering if they have the optimum settings for the conditions. I know for a fact from observation that many people tend to use timings that are too aggressive for the actual conditions when using a GPX. The tendency often is to find something that seems to work well and then to just default to that way if doing things, even if conditions change. To get the best performance out of a GPX does require that a person be somewhat of a tuning wizard.
The bottom line for many more casual prospectors in the United States especially is that the Garrett ATX represents a fantastic value. It is truly impossible to say but in my case at least most of the gold I find in the US with my GPX an ATX would have found it also. In particular when hunting areas where bedrock is a foot or less the ground would have to be extremely hot indeed for the ATX to not only find what the GPX will but to have an edge on the more common small gold. Even in deeper ground as long as the gold is measured in grams and not ounces and the ground not extremely mineralized the ATX is going to be a close match with the GPX. Again, out of box with stock DD coils.
Where the ATX is going to clearly come up short is on large nuggets, especially those sought after 1 ounce and larger nuggets at depth and on gold in the worst mineralized ground and hot rock locations. To be perfectly honest I feel my putting an 11" inch round DD coil on my GPX 5000 in the interest of being fair does not reflect for one second how I look for gold. I am not out there being fair, I am out there looking for gold. I will be running a larger mono coil with settings optimized for larger gold and then the difference in large gold performance between the ATX and GPX is even more pronounced. I would consider a 10-15% to be a bare minimum advantage gained while in effect running the GPX with its hands tied.
I have not done comparisons on the iron discrimination systems but I find the method used by the ATX to be inherently more reassuring. The GPX reacts to shallow ferrous targets by blanking out, a sort of non response. The ATX has a momentary ferrous check that kicks in at the touch of a button, and that gives a low tone growl on iron, which provides a more nuanced and natural response expected by most detector users. I am not a big fan of using discrimination on either unit but I did find the ATX method more to my liking for confirming shallow ferrous stuff as trash that I already thought was trash due to the response. Note that on either detector the ferrous rejection only works on shallow items and only with a DD coil. The amount of rejection is adjustable on the GPX and preset on the ATX so more tests really need to be done in this regard to determine which is the more accurate and useful system.
Minelab GPX 5000 and Garrett ATX (Minelab outfitted with optional Nugget Finder coil)
I do own both detectors and there is a simple reality here. If I am going looking for gold in the water, be it jewelry or nuggets in a creek, I will grab the ATX. For any other prospecting, the vast majority of it, I will be using the GPX 5000. I am not sure where the line between casual and serious is, but I am way, way over on the serious side. I spend a great deal of time targeting and hunting deep ground looking in areas where very large nuggets have been found historically. Most of the ground I detect I am hunting because it has produced nuggets weighing a pound or more in the past. I hunt tailing piles a lot so bedrock is tens of feet down, and the gold can be at any depth from shallow to extremely deep.
I think most professionals would tell you that small gold is what happens along the way while looking for the big stuff, and at the end of the day it is the big stuff or the lack of it that makes the difference. I found over thirteen ounces of nuggets metal detecting in 2013 which is no great sum of gold in my book, but well over half of it was in the form of two nuggets, one weighing 6.5 ounces and the other 2.37 ounces. Now in this case the ATX would have found both these nuggets. Yet I would not use anything but a Minelab GPX for what I am doing. I am spending a lot of valuable time going over ground that I may only get one shot at. I plan these things well in advance and not only time but good money is invested in taking my best shot at getting good results. I basically cannot afford to be running anything that I feel does not give me the best chance of delivering that make or break it big nugget. One nugget can make all the difference between a month of lackluster results and fantastic success.
If both the Garrett ATX and Minelab GPX 5000 detectors had exactly identical electronic performance I would still be swinging the GPX. I am on one hand very impressed with the ATX as a nugget detector and on the other hand very disappointed by it. The up front decision to use the Recon AML-1000 housing is an automatic fail from a nugget detecting perspective in my opinion. It adds not only needless weight but weight that is very much an impediment in rough, uneven terrain. This is accentuated by a stock coil that is sensitive to knocks and bumps. It requires an extra level of coil control to manipulate the detector in such a way as to not produce excessive false signals. This differs from Minelab coils that basically do not false at all unless something is wrong with them. I would caution anyone using a detector the way I do that the ATX requires extra care as regards the possibility of repetitive motion injury. Trust me as somebody who detected too much one year and ignored the signs this is something to regard seriously. A harness is a must for weeks of long daily use of the ATX. I shudder to think about how the detector feels with the 20" long rear mounted mono coil hanging off the front. That is an ergonomic nightmare.
The ATX features silicone lubricated battery door o-rings that collect dirt. The coil connectors also have o-ring seals and even worse delicate pin connectors subject to damage if not carefully lined up. The headphone connector is similar to the coil connectors. All these are required to make the detector waterproof and not only unneeded for normal dry land use but an impediment as regards serviceability in the field.
The coils are sold as a unit with the telescoping rod assembly adding needless expense and weight and making carrying an extra coil around something to be avoided. The rear mount enables the ability of the detector to fold up but is another weak point from a serviceability aspect and ergonomically the worst way to mount a coil.
I always considered ergonomics to be the easy low hanging fruit for anyone considering manufacture of a detector to compete with the Minelab PI series, and I am frankly amazed anyone could make something even heavier I am less excited about handling. It is an absolute fact I would put the GPX aside for an alternative, even if that alternative was next best in overall gold ability, if it offered a big advantage ergonomically. I in fact often do decline to "harness up" and set the GPX aside in favor of a lightweight VLF at times because I am just too tired or not in the mood. More importantly, in steep terrain bedrock is often shallow and so when hunting hillsides and slopes there really is no advantage to using a GPX in ground only inches deep.
I would very gladly use a properly designed Garrett ATX instead of a Minelab GPX in many situations that I currently encounter. In particular areas where bedrock is less than a foot deep or in areas where large nuggets have historically never been seen. The only reason right now that is not going to happen is I do not want the ATX on my arm. Yes, the ATX has an inherent advantage on small gold but nothing I can't negate by putting on a small mono coil and running the GPX hot. No, in my opinion Garrett missed a major opportunity to wow somebody like me by putting a fantastic prospecting circuit in a package very inappropriate for the target audience.
Metal detectors are tools. Now the fact is that for the average person Craftsman tools do just fine and represent good value. But the guy making his living with his toolbox is probably going to be investing in Snap-on tools. It is an apt analogy accentuated by the real performance difference that exists between the Garrett ATX and Minelab GPX detectors on the kind of gold most pros are looking for. The vast number of accessory coils and other aftermarket options on top of a well proven platform makes it an easy decision for the serious prospector. Minelab makes a tool designed specifically for a certain job. The Garrett ATX unfortunately I feel is a duck out of water when employed for normal prospecting uses.
I do have to say my hat is off to Garrett for producing a detector that is the first to really give Minelab a run for the money. I hope they do follow up and produce a model expressly designed from the ground up as a dry land prospecting machine. It may well become my primary prospecting detector if they do so. If you have read this review carefully you should understand the issues involved. For many people wanting maximum bang for the buck a Garrett ATX straight up and used properly is a real bargain in a PI prospecting machine. It can and will find gold and find it very well. The guys like me (you know who you are) that probably already have a Minelab PI plus extra coils, batteries and so forth can continue waiting for the next big thing in nugget detecting. You may also consider the Garrett for exactly the reason I did. It is waterproof, and currently is the closest thing you can get to a Minelab PI in a waterproof package.
In closing I am curious to see how both detectors do for me this year. The ATX has the lead with about 2.5 ounces of gold and platinum jewelry found so far. I plan on using it often to hunt jewelry every chance I get in 2014. The GPX I will once again be taking to Alaska for a couple months of nugget detecting which may or may not pay off with a large nugget found. I will be hunting the right places but large gold is rare almost anywhere you go. Given the lead the ATX already has the GPX has its work cut out for it so it should make for an interesting year. For those of you trying to decide between these two very fine metal detectors I can only sympathize and count my blessings for not having to make such decisions. However, I hope this helps you with your decision because I have done my best to try and do just that. Good luck and good hunting!

Detailed information on the Minelab GPX 5000
By Steve Herschbach
ATX, TDI, GPX. What is it with detector companies and three letter acronyms? I liked it more when they were called Coinmaster or Goldmaster. At least that gave you a clue about what the detector was supposed to do.
The three detectors representing the state of the art in ground balancing pulse induction (GBPI) metal detectors. The Garrett ATX, White's TDI, and Minelab GPX 5000. You rarely see them all pictured together so I thought I would post one.
Garrett ATX, White's TDI, Minelab GPX 5000
These three detectors are all very good at what they are basically made for, which is dealing with ground mineralization and hot rocks that make using VLF detectors very difficult. In particular VLF performance is severely impeded in extremely mineralized ground. In low mineral ground a good VLF prospecting detector running in all metal mode can deliver results rivaling PI detectors with the added benefit of having good discrimination options. Anybody doing much prospecting, however, will eventually run into locations where ground mineralization and hot rocks makes using a VLF such a challenge that a good ground balancing pulse induction detector is the only real option.
The GPX 5000 represents the current state of the art, and is the easy option if money is no object. It is well designed for long hours of prospecting, has an incredible variety of optional coils, and can handle most any ground conditions with many tuning options.
The Garrett ATX provides performance that comes close to the GPX at a much lower price, with the added benefit of being waterproof to ten feet. Actually, this is only a benefit if you need it. Otherwise it makes the detector heavier than need be and limits the available coil options. Still, if the GPX is not an option the ATX would be my next choice in a new detector with a warranty. For those needed waterproof it is the only real option along with its predecessor, the Garrett Infinium.
The White's TDI is an older design but still very capable. It costs less than the other two options, and unlike the Garrett it has light weight versions and models that can be hip or chest mounted. It is a good option to explore for those on a budget or needing the most ergonomic solution. The TDI is also a very respected beach detector, like the ATX above, but it has no waterproof option.

A few months ago when talking to the guys at nugget finder about coil options they hinted at a new small coil coming out soon, here is the news i was waiting for.
Some exciting news for GPX users, a super sensitive coil with good ground coverage in the evolution windings, will be interesting to see its performance especially compare to the new coiltek 9" and also the SDC.
From the nugget finder website https://www.nuggetfinder.com.au/products
The 12"x8" Evolution will be released in August 2018
LIGHTWEIGHT - ONLY 740 Grams
More Details and Pictures soon to be released!

Is it valid that the GPZ 5000 is not for the novice detectorist? I have read on other forums, and reviews on websites that sell detectors, that this detector is very difficult to set up and operate effectively, and is not capable of productive use "from the box" -- thus geared for the advanced, deeply experienced detectorist. I ask because when I bought the Garrett ATX I had the means to buy the GPZ 5000, but was intimidated with it due to everything I'd read. Prior to that my use of detectors consisted of the old BFO types and VLF. And am not too tech savvy and impatient with electronics. So, I opted to buy the ATX. But next summer I'm adding to my detectors. Buying at least 2 more, one will be a White's MXT or GMT (Steve's review has been studied word-for-word), and the other ideally a Minelab. If not a GPZ 5000 then the 7000, and if not either then just one new detector.

This question has been posted over on Prospecting Australia website. Wondering if the brains trust here might be able to help - OP over there is not getting much response. I've never used a GPX so I'm not much help.
If some knowledge can be shared here I'll post the link over on PA and the knowledge will stay here for perpetuity 😉
" Does anyone regularly use Specific Ground Balance?
How do you find it?
Page 60 of the User Instructions says -
When moving to a new area the first Specific Ground Balance must be done with the Ground Balance Switch, not the Quick Track Button.
Does this mean you can use the Quick Track Button after you've done the first one?
I've never used Specific and wondering whether I should have been.
Thanks for your help.

I put all my gear in the car the night before ready to roll as I was intending to go for a solo mission to try find a nugget, or a flake, which ever comes my way, I am happy either way 🙂 I sent Kiwijw a text message that morning as he hadn't been on the forum asking if he'd like to come along as I knew he wasn't working that day and he was all for it. It was unusual he hadn't been on the forums but it's because his computer had broken down so I told him I'd take it home with me and fix it up.
The day was off to a cool start, I left home and at the time I think it was -5 degrees celsius and very icey on the road, black ice everywhere. I was in a thick fog when I left home to head to John's to pick him up but that cleared up about halfway to his house, it was about -2 when I got there I think and nowhere near as icey up his way. We jumped in the car and off we went, the roads were much better up his way as it was nice and sunny.
We went to a spot we have been to quite few times before and had success, I call it the shotgun pellet place as there are zillions of them there. I think I've even done a solo mission there, I don't have any record of that as I obviously was skunked if I did but John mentioned I have been there before myself and I vaguely remember it now I think about it. I've done a few solo missions to various places but rarely have any success on them for some reason and I only tend to remember times when I do well.
Cool looking rock at the area I was first detecting, looks like a broken easter egg, it looks like its a big hollow rock that some has broken off over the years. Maybe old timers used it as a hut, I know I would.
We started off detecting, John on his Zed and me with my 4500 and my new Nugget Finder 14x9 Evo coil which I'd been dying to try out but just hadn't had a chance.
I'd found nothing by lunch time except junk and If I recall correctly John was up to number 3
My days junk collection, I had quite a few more shotgun pellets but they fell out of a tiny hole in my pocket. That little bit of wire on the far right side screamed out as loud as a 22 shell, puzzled by that. In the process of recovering some junk I used my GM 1000 as a pinpointer, the spot was really muddy so I tried to take my coil cover off to give it a clean as I was right at a creek as I was going to put my Monster in my backpack so it's not left sitting there out in the open in case some passer by stole it, unlikely but I'm cautious of thieves after living in Oz for years and having house and car break ins and so on over there. John leaves his Zed lying around like that, it scares me 🙂 So I tried to pull my coil cover off and my coil cracked, a big crack too just by me using my fingers to push it in a bit to get the cover off. I wish they were tougher epoxy filled coils. I've since spoken to Minelab service who said they will replace it for me, see this link for photos of the crack More excellent service from Minelab, thanks 🙂
John come walking over and showed me his finds and we had some lunch. John suggested I go try detect some throw out piles from the old timers as it may increase my luck and showed me where they were and off we went detecting again.
It was only about 20 minutes and I had my first hit, right next to a big hole someone else had dug to recover a nugget, probably John as it was a big hole like his pick makes
My little hole at the top, someone elses big hole below it, my little nugget was down about 10cm to 15cm I would guess.
About 30 minutes of swinging later on top of another pile which was covered in soil and grass and not rocky like the last one I had another good target, It sounded promising and it seems junk in this area is uncommon as I'd had no junk digs since moving to it.
I had to smash up the ground here to retrieve this one, it was in the shade and the ground was frozen solid, it actually made the recovery quite easy as the clumps of dirt were coming up as frozen blocks so I could sweep each chunk over the coil until it sounded off, then melted the target clump in my hand to get the gold out.
I started swinging around further along this pile and there was a giant bit of schist and it was giving me a good signal, I spent about 20 minutes scraping the moss off and checking it all for the target and also breaking away the top layers of the schist trying to find where this signal was coming from, it had me stumped. I wasn't sure what to do, I was going to go ask John thinking possibly it's some sort of hot rock situation but I could see him off in the distance, too far away and I was unsure I'd find the spot again if I left it so I decided I'd try move the rock, maybe the target is under it. It was in frozen ground and had suctioned itself down, it was also FAR to heavy to lift, I used my pick to dig around it a bit and lever it up, this took a good half an hour and I was exhausted, I managed to move it a tiny bit which relieved the suction, it also had me rolling down the side the of pile as I took a tumble when the rock finally gave way.
You can see the top part of the rock here where I was chipping away at it trying to find the target inside it.
Now that the suction was gone I was able to lever it enough that I eventually slid it down the side of the pile. I eagerly checked the area where it was and bingo, the target sound was still there.
You can see the size of the rock here with the indent in the ground where it came from. The rock would of been about 20 cm thick too and then the nugget was down another 5 cm or so in the soil under the rock.
and it was my biggest nugget of the day 🙂
I went to go show John my find and tell him the story and he said I should go scan that area a bit more as there could be more, we only had about an hour of light left so I wandered back to try find the spot, and wouldn't you know it, I couldn't find it, lucky I didn't leave earlier to try get John to help move the rock.
So all in all a good day out, fixed up John's computer today so he'll appear back on the forum tomorrow no doubt as we are heading out for part two of this mission so he'll get it back tomorrow, it needed a new motherboard. He had someone nearby to his house look at it as it was running very slow and they did the usual things like spyware checks and cleaning the dust out and so on and had broken a fan mounting clip for the CPU in the process of the dust cleanup I guess, John said it got really noisy after they looked at it which is normal as the fan would be going top speed trying to cool the CPU with the poor contact of the heatsink and shortly after it died and wouldn't post (display a signal on the screen), I guess the cpu heatsink being so loose caused the CPU to overheat by not being clipped down properly and caused the motherboard to die, or else it was a huge coincidence the motherboard dies the day after they clean out the fan and break its mounting clip. In saying that I've not seen a motherboard die from heat in this manor before, although I've never seen someone run one with the heatsink not clipped down properly.
As for my first proper detect using my new Nugget Finder Evo 14x9, I love it, It seems just as sensitive to tiny gold as the little Joey coil if not even more sensitive but punches deeper, It's ability on small targets feels like using a high frequency VLF. It's going to be my stay on coil from now on, the little Joey will be perfect for tight places and creek detecting and situations where a smaller coil is required. I can highly recommend the Evo coil. Thanks to all the people who recommended to me to buy the Evo coil. I am very happy with it.
Stay tuned for John's portion of the mission when he gets his computer back tomorrow 🙂

Both spider veins and varicose veins are caused by malfunctioning valves within the veins. Properly working valves ensure that the blood always flows towards the heart. Damaged and weakened valves don't close properly, and they, therefore, allow the blood to either flow backwards or in both directions, which eventually damages the veins.
What are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are clusters of small veins that appear near the skin's surface. They look like tree branches or a spider's web. They are smaller than varicose veins and can appear near them. While spider veins can develop anywhere, they usually appear on the legs or face.
What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted and distended veins near the skin's surface. They are typically larger than the veins involved in spider veins. Varicose veins usually develop on the legs or ankles. Veins that transport blood up the legs have to work against gravity, so when their valves stop working properly, the blood collects in the legs and eventually causes the veins to become twisted and distended.
Are They Dangerous?
Spider veins and varicose veins are generally not a serious problem by themselves, although they can cause pain. However, spider veins and varicose veins are sometimes associated with the following serious conditions:
• Thrombosis, in which a blood clot develops within the enlarged vein. Deep vein thrombosis can be fatal if a blood clot breaks off and travels to a vital organ, like the lungs.
• Phlebitis, which is an inflammation caused by a blood clot in the vein
• Skin ulcers, when the skin doesn't get enough oxygen
• Bleeding, which can occur when the skin over the vein becomes thin and fragile
Are Any Other Symptoms Associated with These Conditions?
Yes. Symptoms associated with spider veins include swelling, itchiness, rash, cramps or restless legs. Symptoms that can occur with varicose veins include swelling, itchiness and a dull ache or burning feeling in the legs.
When Should Someone See a Doctor?
Anybody with spider veins or varicose veins should have themselves examined to make sure they don't have an underlying condition that might be causing them. A patient with spider veins or varicose veins especially needs to see our doctor if any of the following are true:
• Their leg suddenly swells up and becomes painful, for that might indicate a blood clot in a deep vein
• The patient develops an ulcer
• The patient's symptoms don't improve even after treatment
• The leg has a tender lump, which can indicate either a blood clot or inflammation
• The skin near the veins is becoming discolored or abnormally thick
What Treatment Are Available?
With locations in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Riverview and Lakeland, the Premier Vein Institute is here for you. We offer a wide variety of non-invasive treatments for addressing your varicose veins and/or spider veins. Contact us today to schedule your appointment to learn more about our treatment options.

Reaction to Dave Neese's Provocations
While I was happy to read that columnist David Neese has taken the advice of CAIR, and read the Quran for himself, the critique in his column "PROVOCATIONS: Facing up to Hate speech" merely illustrates the predictable effect of approaching any religious scripture with a pre-conceived mindset.
I would challenge his claim that he is not "cherry picking" as he produces single verses, or segments of verses to support his thesis. One example is where he quotes verse 8:60 as, "Against them" — unbelievers — "make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah..." It's not surprising that he neglects to share the very next verse with his readers. That verse, 8:61, reads "But if they incline to peace, then you incline to it also…" By quoting verse 8:60 while omitting verse 8:61 Mr. Neese exposes his true agenda of misleading his readers and promoting Islamophobia.
It is easy to take verses from the Quran, or any other scripture for that matter, out of context for one's own purposes, and in that, David Neese and the terrorists he conflates with true Muslims are fellow travelers.
— James Sues, Executive Director, CAIR-NJ
Bump Stock Legislation
One month after they were used in the Las Vegas mass shooting, a leading manufacturer of bump stock devices, which allow semi-automatic weapons to be fired as if they were fully automatic, has resumed sales of the deadly accessory. Bipartisan bills that were introduced in the weeks after the massacre to outlaw the devices have stalled in committee as the NRA lobbies to pass the matter off the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which currently has no power to regulate firearm parts.
Rep. Christopher Smith and Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez have all cosponsored bump stock ban legislation (HR 3999 and S 1916) but these bills have gone nowhere as press coverage and the public's memory of the Las Vegas massacre fade. The NRA wants the Trump administration to direct the ATF to outlaw bump stocks and similar devices. However, the agency has previously said it cannot regulate bump stocks under existing laws. In the meantime, demand for the devices among gun enthusiasts has soared in the past month. And now new bipartisan legislation is being introduced to simply regulate the devices (subject them to registration, background checks and a fee) rather than outlaw them altogether.
This is unacceptable. I strongly urge our elected officials and all citizens who value life to push for the bump stock ban. There is agreement among those on both sides of the aisle against anything allowing weapons to approach fully automatic status, and this device certainly does that. Outlawing this deadly device is literally the least we can do to make America safer. It is not enough to simply regulate these devices because there is no justifiable basis such as hunting or personal defense for an add-on firearm device that is designed solely to inflict mass casualties.
— Frances Carroll, Hamilton

Creator of Dorm411.com
Just a few smart tips for organizing your small dorm space from DormSmart.com...
|Jaxx Pillow Sac - Can Be Reshaped
Tip #1 - Raise Your Dorm Bed / Create An Under Bed Storage Space
A good set of bed risers is one of the wisest investments a college bound student can make for dorm living. Even better, when savvy students combine their bed risers with storage products like a DormSmart Smart Storage Cart and Bungalow Collapsible Bins, it creates an entire under bed storage solution. The smart storage cart is a complete custom made wheeled platform that runs the length and width of a dorm bed, allowing students to place and arrange their dorm stuff in bins on the wheeled cart. The wheeled cart then rolls in and out from under the bed, making for easy access, much like a drawer system. It breaks down easily between dorm moves and students can select folding bins in a range patterns and colors to enhance their dorm decor.
Tip #2 - Dorm Trunks
Dorm trunks are a great investment. Students can use dorm trunks for travel, secure storage, and seating, such as the Rhino Armor Trunk Large available at DormSmart.com.
Tip #3 - Be Square
Let's face it, every inch counts in a small dorm room, consider using square storage containers, such as the Neatnix Square Stuff Bucket. Being square utilizes every inch of space!
Tip #4 - Go Vertical
Build up using free standing shelves, raising your dorm bed with bed risers or whenever possible, lofting your dorm bed. Remember to check student housing regulations.
Tip #5 - Dorm Size
Resist the urge to bring your mom's 24 cup coffeemaker or dad's spare toolbox. Instead, consider dorm sizing by purchasing smaller scale items such as a Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Hot Beverage Center or a Picnic Time Essentials Toolkit to fit the scale of your small dorm space.
Tip #6 - Build Upon Existing Surfaces…
In other words use stackable canisters on top of your microfridge unit to store dry staples such as sugar, coffee…but don't overload!
Tip #7 - Invest in Multi Purpose Dorm Essentials
Purchase dorm essentials that can be used for multiple purposes. For example, a Jaxx Pillow Sac can be shaped for seating or can be flattened out for sleepovers during those late night study sessions. The Ergorapido 2- in-1 Stick and Hand Vac by Electrolux can be used to vacuum your dorm room or save a few dollars by using the hand vac to vacuum your car. The Ravenswood Floor Lamp and Table by Lumisource has your main light, a separate reading light and plenty of shelves to utilize as a bed side table and storage. The Sort-A-Sack! is a laundry bag, backpack, and sorter with instructions sewn in on how to do your laundry. There are many multi-purpose products available for dorm living in today's marketplace.
Tip #8 - Hang Your Clothes
Hang your clothes in the closet versus throwing them on floor or trying to cram all of them in a drawer, it saves a lot of space and you'll spend less time looking for them!
Tip #9 - Collapsible / Folding Storage Bins and Vacuum Bags
Folding Storage such as Bungalow's Collapsible Storage Bins is great way to organize all your dorm stuff. Better still, use vacuum bags to minimize the size of items and store them in your collapsible bins on shelves or under your dorm bed.
Tip #10 - Keep You Dorm Room Neat and Organized
As much as we hate to hear it, the best way to live in a small space, such as a dorm room, is to keep it neat and organized. Put things away when you are finished with them. You'll feel more in control of yourself and your new surroundings!
Just a few storage and organization tips to help incoming freshman to live dorm smart!
